Hi Dan:

Thank you for your service to this great country and for the freedom that you put your life on the line for - for all of us!

What a super outing you had today. Nice work on the perch (and the hallybutts two):LOL:
We haven't seen one of your reports in a little while and I sure like em' when you put one up like this one:EyePop:

Hope to see more soon.

take care,

Nick

[Jaysuuun]

Dan, first off thank you for your service!
Always good to see an all smiles report from you sir!
Congrats on the multi-legal session and I hope you and Rhonda enjoy the flattie filets.

[Homefish]

Glad to see you have'n a good Vets Day! Thank you for your service. Good to see a report from you.

[bachiboy]

Awesome job out there Danimal! I know it's been tough for you to get out lately, but man did you take advantage of it when you got that window of opportunity!:Wink: What a fantastic day. I couldn't be happier for you. Thank you for your past service big guy...this outing was well deserved.:Thumbs Up:

Don

[remington]

I just knew that the text you sent me would contain a successful report & it most certainly did! Great job Dan and thank you again for your service and to land (2) legals on Veteran's Day is the best part of it all. :Thumbs Up:

Good job getting out on the sand to take in some surf therapy. God knows you have been doing overtime in the humanitarian aspect of your life and you really needed to get your mind off of life's struggle and take a small break. I'm glad you found your intended target. As far as the collateral damage.....it happens even to the best and most dedicated catch and release fisherman. Two fatalities in four years is a wonderful record my friend.
I'm sure the halibut dinner was delicious and just look at it this way.....it was Poseidon and Karma working together to provide you with a bonus.
Take care brotha and before I forget...
Thank you so much for all of the sacrifices you made to keep our country a better place to live.
HAPPY VETERANS DAY DAN!

P.S.

You are tied for the lead on the SWAT leaderboard with 18 legal flatties.....I'm very proud of your accomplishment sir!

Hi ya Edgar,
I considered this rather to be ... "a deep behind the enemies lines and in their trenches ... with up close combat by hand" rather than ... at a Sniper's distant advantage.
I always look forward to ... when I finally get it close enough to me in the suds ... to where I can look it in the eyes and measure up the size of my opponent at the end of our battle and it's temporary defeat by surrender !
I thank Poseidon for the many battles that he has allowed me, and I know that He is pleased with the return of so many of his beaten warriors.
Thanx for taking the time to check out my fish report. :Thumbs Up:
